Construction

The single-board sub-top bears toothing plane marks on its underside, and is attached to the skirt by means of long rectilinear glue blocks on the long sides, the sole remaining one reinforced by a small chamfered block. The opposite side retains a single, small, chamfered glue block. The molding at the perimeter of the upper top is nailed to itself at its mitered corners and to the frame below by brads. The legs are joined to the skirts by mortise and tenon joints; no pins are visible. Chamfered (original) and rectangular (later) vertical glue blocks reinforce the joints between skirts and legs. The knee brackets are nailed with brads to the legs at the knees and glued to the skirts above. The cabriole legs are square in section, with sharp knees, and rounded slipper feet. Examined by J. S.
